Turtáková, Petra ; Baštecká, Bohumila (advisor) ; Klvačová, Petra (referee) ; Zárasová, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis is a qualitative probe into the story of a temporary foster mother. The thesis captures, analyses and classifies this story into systemic context. It does so with an emphasis on the temporary foster mother's personal experience and also with using personal experience of other participants involved in this particular case - including mine. This thesis is largely a reflection of my own role in this story, it is looking at it from different perspectives that evolve over time. The thesis is grounded in theoretical sources, especially methodologies of temporary foster care and methodological recommendations. Theoretical sources are critically viewed and connected to personal experience. The resulting storytelling, which provides an insight into the wider context of temporary foster care in the Czech Republic, was based on this procedure. Capturing systemic context is used in this thesis to create suggestions for possible systemic improvements.

Sedláková, Eliška ; Kaňák, Jan (advisor) ; Nová, Monika (referee)
140 Abstract GOALS: Intention of my diessertation work was to answer the main research question: "What is the utilazation rate of TCA when working with involuntary clients of social workers from CPS in the capital city of Prague and selected CPS in Vysocina region?". Theoretical starting-points: Basic signs of TCA are partnerships and strenghten. In terms of TCA the success depends on How people can actively participate and understand the process of helping. Clients role is active and he is participating everything what has been happening in the whole process of helping. Task centered approach says, that experience from your own decision is more usefull then just assuming how the future situation could be. TCA holds the idea, which just a little success build up self-confidence and self-esteem. Accomplishing of goals and achieving of another goal motivates a client. When smaller goals are set up there is a much more chance for possitive result of the whole advisory process. METHODS: Semistructured questionnaire has been used. The questionnaire have 47 questions, which are based on operationalization of main research question. RESULTS: The outcome of questionnaire investigation method is that the workers don`t use TCA, but in general in their practice we are able to identify some of the elements of approach.

Family preservation from the viewpoint of the employees charged with the social and legal protection of children
MALOUŠKOVÁ, Marie
This master's thesis is focused on the problematic associated with family remediation. It offers a view into the issues connected with working with a family in which there is a child whose biological, social and psychological development is endangered. The thesis consists of a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part we can find an insight into the problematic of family remediation. This part of the thesis also explains the term family remediation, neglect and children at risk. I have focused on family, its function and typology. One of the chapters is focused on families which were included in the family remediation program. The thesis also mentions the course of family remediation, strengthening of parental skills and the social and legal protection of children.In the research part of the thesis my goal is to find out the elements of preventive action in the case of a threat to the development of the child and how in practice parental skills are applied. Consistent with the goal of the thesis three research questions, relating to the function of a multidisciplinary team, questions on how parental skills are strengthened, and what improvements are possible in the context of preventive work with the family, were established. Quantitative research was chosen in order to find the goal. It was realized using the pooling method and using the semi-structured interview technique. The subsequent data analysis was evaluated using the data classification method.In conclusion, both the aim of the thesis and the research questions were fulfilled. From the results we can ensure that case conference is useful in the area of preventive work with family but it's both organizationally and time demanding in small frequencies of realization and in relation to the needs of employees and families. Another finding was that developing an individual child protection plan takes up a lot of time and is the cause of worker's work efficiency deterioration.The gathered information can be beneficial for general public but also for the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences as a study material. Also the gathered information could help workers of social and legal protection of children as feedback of their work.

Risk Behaviour from the Staffs´ Perspective of the Authority Children´s Protection.
ŠESTÁKOVÁ, Markéta
The bachelor thesis deals with the high - risk behaviour from the staffs´ perspective of the authority children´s protection. The goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out the typical forms of risky behaviour which the officials of the authority of children´s social care law most often encounter and whether the personnel authority of children´s social care law perceive eating disorders as a risky behaviour. In connection with these objectives, I have set the following hypotheses as follows: The officials of the authority of children´s social care law encounter with all nine types of risky behaviour and eating disorders are perceived by the officials of the authority of children´s social care law as a risky behaviour. For processing the data in the empirical part I have chosen the quantitative research, which proceeded with the use of questionnaire enquiry. The research sample consisted of fourteen social workers, specifically curators for children and youth operating on the authority of children´s social care law in the South Bohemian Region. The results show that the officials of children´s social care law most often encounter truancy of their clients, then bullying, cyber bullying, sexual risky behaviour and substance dependence. The responses show that risky behaviour occurs more often in extracurricular environment. The majority of responders are inclined to think of the primary prevention of risky behaviour in the education system as not sufficient. In connection with the second aim, which is focused on eating disorders, the most of the respondents said they agreed with the inclusion of eating disorders to risk-taking behaviour. For the most common eating disorder they encounter is anorexia nervosa as they marked. In their point of view is not, in the context of prevention at schools, taken sufficient account of the issue of eating disorders and the risks associated with them. Among their clients who got ill from eating disorder, most often cooperate with their families or refer to appropriate professional help. Based on these results, it should be noted that the first hypothesis with the results diverges, whereas the second hypothesis is with them in correspond. The research results could serve as an information material for the officials of the authority of children´s social care law. Furthermore, it is possible to embrace the basis for the educators working with at-risk group of pupils. They can also be beneficial for the improvement of cooperation between the school and the official of the social services or between educators in the creation of the minimum preventive programme.

Actual problems in profession of curators for children and youth in České Budějovice
HUNČOVSKÁ, Jana
This thesis deals with the current problems in the activities of curators for children and youth at OSPOD in České Budějovice. The aim of this work is to describe the curators' activities and to map out the problems accompanying them. In order to find out the results, I have chosen two research questions, which are the problems that the curators of children and youth in their work feel the most burdensome and what solutions do these respondents consider most suitable. In the theoretical part are evaluated the frequent problems of children and youth, which curators deal with. In addition, this section describes the curator's work and describes the services and projects in which they are involved. The own research part consists of qualitative research and the method of structured interviews with open questions through which interviews with OSPOD staff are analyzed. Research has found that the biggest problems faced by workers include the lack of facilities for addicted children, the lack of time for social workers, a lot of administration and the lack of information of the public. Based on the findings of the research, measures have been proposed that could help to mitigate some curatorial problems. Measures that could improve the work of curators include educating the public, creating facilities to work with addicted children, and employing a worker to work with non-profit organizations that would actively engage with children.
